Chapter 47: The seniors have an appointment
When she arrived at her sister-in-law's house, although it was already past lunch time, her sister-in-law Lin Xin still made a big table of meals specially prepared for entertaining Lin Xingchen. It can also be seen from this that Lin Xingchen is still very popular in the heart of this sister-in-law.
In fact, it is normal to think about it carefully, Lin Xin, who married Mingzhu, has become a city person in the eyes of others. In fact, she married far away, but she couldn't see her relatives from her hometown every time she was in a show like the Spring Festival.
Although it is said that the first month is the time for Chinese people to pay New Year's greetings. But Lin Xingchen believes that those relatives in his hometown can't go to Mingzhu to pay homage to the New Year. On the other hand, Lin Xin and Xu Maocai, who are old and young, cannot go to the countryside of Lin'an to pay New Year's greetings casually.
Even if the transportation is developed now, but the two cities are too far apart, this kind of exchange of gifts and gifts that have existed in China for many years is also changing. But no matter what, Lin Xingchen believes that this sister-in-law will miss her relatives in her hometown on such days.
Every festive season, I miss my relatives, maybe it's my sister-in-law's mood at the moment!
Fortunately, after entering the door, looking at his cousin Xu Wanting, whose relationship has improved a lot, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Tingting, this is the New Year's money that your grandparents and uncle gave you, I really don't know how much." The other one was given to you by my cousin! ”
As soon as she heard this, Xu Wanting smiled on her face, but she still looked at her mother's face. This also shows that in this family, what my cousin actually cares about most is the attitude of her mother Lin Xin.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xingchen took her hand up, stuffed two New Year's bags wrapped in red paper directly into her hands and said, "This is given by my grandparents, uncles and cousins, and your mother has no right to refuse to accept them."
It's just that how to use this New Year's money in the future, you have to discuss it with your parents. As for the money, you can take it with confidence. Grandparents and grandmothers have also prepared a lot of gifts for your mother! ”
It is very clear that children are still very concerned about New Year's money. Even if her daughter is fifteen years old, she naturally attaches more importance to the role of money than when she was a child. Therefore, the Spring Festival is the happiest thing for Xu Wanting.
Looking at her daughter's slightly hesitant expression, Lin Xin smiled and said, "Okay, since it was given to you by your grandfather, then you can keep this money." However, your cousin is right, you are not too young, you must start to know how to spend reasonably. Do you understand? ”
'Got it, thank you, Mom! ’
Seeing Lin Xin's face sinking, Xu Wanting's mind turned, and she quickly said, "Thank you, cousin!" Also, I will call to thank my grandparents, grandmothers, and uncles for them! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xin's expression also looked very pleased. In fact, she also knows that her daughter, who grew up in the city since she was a child, is the same as the flowers in the greenhouse, she doesn't like her hometown, how can Lin Xin not feel it?
But no matter how poor and backward her hometown is, that is the hometown where she was born and raised. Xu Wanting, as her daughter, should know her mother's past. Only in this way will Xu Wanting understand her mother's difficulties today.
After a while, Lin Xingchen pulled the big suitcase over and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I didn't have much luggage when I came to Mingzhu this time." The contents of this big suitcase are specially prepared for you by your grandparents. There are a lot of good things! ”
Hearing this, Lin Xin was somewhat moved. It is said that 'the daughter who marries out spills the water', when she married Mingzhu, her parents actually disagreed. The reason is that she is too far away from home and is worried that she will not have a good life.
Later, seeing that Lin Xin insisted, Xu Maocai gave them a good feeling, and since they were Mingzhu locals, Lin Xingchen's grandparents reluctantly agreed. From marriage to now, Lin Xin has gone home several times.
In contrast, every year either before or after the Spring Festival, Lin Xin can receive a package from his hometown. In this package, they are all hometown specialties carefully prepared for Lin Xin by the old couple who live in the countryside as their parents.
These things are also what Lin Xin likes to eat since she was a child. Lin Xin knows this, and the Lin family knows it. As the youngest daughter, Lin Xin has always been the top meat of the old couple, and she will never forget her if she has delicious things.
As the suitcase was opened, looking at the things Lin Xingchen took out, Lin Xin couldn't hold back her tears. Every year when she sees these things, she can't help but cry once. After all, these things are inconspicuous, but they represent the deep love of parents.
Looking at Lin Xin's tears, Xu Maocai also knew the sacrifice his wife had made for this family. stepped forward and hugged him: "Xinxin, don't cry!" Next time I have time, I'll accompany you home to see your parents, okay? ”
Lin Xingchen, who understood Lin Xin's current mood, also smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, grandma, they are in good health, and my parents will often go to the countryside to see them when they have time." When I came, my grandfather also told you not to worry about them.
By the way, these packs of Chinese medicine were specially asked by grandpa to help with them. I heard that Ah Gong had old cold legs, so he found a few pairs of Chinese medicine to be matched. If you have time, boil it for your grandfather and try it, and I heard from my grandfather that the effect is good.
If Grandpa thinks it's useful, next time you call Grandpa and ask him to send more. Although this is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, the therapeutic effect is still very good. These pairs of medicines were also taken by Grandpa himself from Langzhong. ”
Ah Gong is the name of Xu Maocai's father. Father Xu, who was also sitting on the side, was also a little moved when he heard this: "Alas, let the in-laws bother!" I'm an old cold leg, and I've bothered your family. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Father, although this Chinese medicine is a home remedies, there should be no problem in trying it." The prescription and the method of decoction are all written on this paper!
Grandpa said, when your old legs are better, you will have time to stay with us for a while. Although it is a rural place, the good thing is that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the air is fresh. And this year, the road to my hometown and village will be repaired, and it will be convenient to go in the future. ”
I know that people in the city, and people who have received higher education, do not trust Chinese medicine very much. Kelin Xingchen knows very well that there are indeed some traditional Chinese medicine remedies in the countryside, and the treatment of some stubborn diseases has an effect that Western medicine cannot achieve.
Just these few payments of traditional Chinese medicine also cost hundreds of yuan in my hometown. This is also a lot of money for rural people!
Not long after, Lin Xingchen took out another bottle of dried plums and said with a smile: "Wanting, this is specially made for you by grandma, and they are all made from fresh plums picked last year." This kind of dried plums, which is difficult to buy with money, is a natural and pollution-free snack! ”
Looking at this bottle of dried plums, Xu Wanting also knew it. When she went to her grandmother's house during the Spring Festival last year, she especially liked to eat this sweet and sour thing. But she didn't expect that her grandmother specially prepared it for her this year.
Looking at some homemade things from the countryside that were placed on the table one after another, Lin Xin seemed to cherish them very much. Even if there are some things that are also sold in the market, the condition and color may be better than these. But in Lin Xin's opinion, it is still the authentic things made by his parents.
After Xu Maocai put away his things, the family sat down and began to eat. With Lin Xingchen coming to Mingzhu to study, Lin Xin also felt that the pain of homesickness was alleviated a lot. After all, I used to only be on the phone, listening to my parents report good news and not bad news.
And now that Lin Xingchen is here, many interesting stories about his hometown can be heard from his mouth. This also allows Lin Xin to hear bits and pieces of memories about her hometown from these conversations, so as to comfort the homesickness in her heart.
had a sumptuous reception banquet at the Lin family, and Lin Xingchen did not stay at the Lin family for a long time. Seeing that it wasn't long before dinner, Lin Xingchen prepared to go back to the academy. After all, tomorrow night will be a late self-study, and the day after tomorrow will be the official class.
Although she was a little reluctant, Lin Xin didn't force her to stay, but just told Lin Xingchen that if she has time next time on Saturday and Sunday, she must remember to come to the house more often. Lin Xingchen promised very well, but only he knew whether he would come or not.
was still sent back to the college by his uncle, but not long after he arrived at the dormitory, Lin Xingchen didn't have time to chat with Chen Bin and Zhang Mingzhou, who also returned to school, when he received a call from Hu Ge, asking him to come out to meet him, and introduce a senior sister to him by the way.
Knowing that this kind of invitation is not easy to refuse, and it is not even easy to bring people, Lin Xingchen apologized to the two roommates. Quickly changed into fresh clothes and took a taxi back to the place where Hu Ge sent a text message.
After entering the box, I saw that there was only one man and one woman in the box. Hu Ge naturally knew him, but the other Lin Xingchen seemed a little surprised. Without waiting for Hu Ge's introduction, Lin Xingchen said very politely: "Senior Sister Han Qiao, hello! ”
Although on the phone, I knew that Hu Ge introduced a senior sister to him. But Lin Xingchen really didn't expect that the senior sister recommended by Hu Ge turned out to be Han Qiao, who was later declared by the Internet as one of the 'Four Beauties of Beijing'.
For this senior sister with an extraordinary family background, Lin Xingchen has seen a lot of reports about her on the Internet in his later life. Now seeing Han Jian in a snow-white long-sleeved dress, Lin Xingchen also felt a little amazing.
When Lin Xingchen was looking at Han Yue, Han Jian was also looking at Lin Xingchen. If she hadn't met Hu Ge by chance this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have dared to meet a junior who had just entered the school. The reason for wanting to meet is very simple, she is also going to release a new album.
Hearing Hu Ge's introduction, I learned that I was calling myself to come, mainly when I invited songs. After a quick search in Lin Xingchen's mind, he also understood that this senior sister is now far more famous in the music industry than her in the film and television industry!
A song "Remember" made him famous, and a song "Bamboo Forest Wind" made him sing at the Spring Festival Gala. The former has already come out, and the latter has not yet been created. That means you can steal and give away or make a little money again!
